What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001750) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 86 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.0★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Japan yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

Real reviews from students.

????

Due to construction work currently being carried out on the Nagoya City University Hospital parking lot, there are other parking options besides the hospital parking lot, such as the Nagoya City Museum parking lot. Please check with the hospital. I recommend the museum parking lot. Construction work will continue until next year.

When I was a child, I happened to be riding my bike past this school, and I remember seeing the school gate neatly wrapped up and a sign saying it was being transported to Meiji Village. That was about 60 years ago... So the gate to Meiji Village is the old gate to this school.

I visited the clinic for sleep apnea syndrome, and the diagnoses by each doctor and the coordination between each department were accurate. Even after surgery and mouthpiece therapy, my sleep quality has improved to a level better than that …

This is the hospital where I receive care. I really like Dr. Endo, the female doctor. The city university has also been incorporated, and I think the service has improved accordingly. Even in a hospital, I think there are aspects of service …

University hospitals see a fair number of sick people and are admitted there, so it's only natural that some people feel uneasy, disappointed, and sometimes even resentful. But the fact is that they are doing their best as the last bastion …

I was referred to a hospital famous for infertility treatment and had my treatment there about a year ago, but the male trainee (probably a student) was grinning and it was disgusting. If you just wanted to see a gynecologist just to see a …

I went to Nagoya City University Hospital for the first time, following instructions from my family doctor. I had a referral letter, but I lined up at the first-time patient reception counter 30 minutes before my appointment time. However, …

I had a terrible experience being put in the same room as a patient who was thought to have a mental illness. There were no private rooms available. It was a shared room, but the patient was also bothering other patients. I was moved to a …

????

There was parking available, and the doctors, nurses, and other staff were polite and kind.
However, although I was told to arrive 15 minutes before my appointment, I think it would be better to go to the reception desk about an hour before.

I came to the hospital for the first time from a long distance. It was easy to get to, and the doctor in the department was very nice and polite, but the receptionist in the urology department (who was a bit of a boss) was always surly, …

They are taking thorough measures against COVID-19. Consultations take time because there are a lot of people, but all the doctors are kind and when I can't find a doctor at my regular clinic, I always ask for a referral letter here.

??????

I waited for over an hour at the document counter. I think it took so long because there were only two people processing the documents.
I wish they would add more staff to handle the documents, even if it was just during busy times.

Sergí Bauer

It was an interesting and educational time, albeit far too short. Although I didn't know a single word of Japanese at the beginning, I was given the opportunity to gain experience at this university, and for that I am very grateful.

I had artificial joint surgery, but the pain didn't go away. I had performed the surgery myself, but they said it was better than the artificial joint I had about 15 years ago. They didn't know the cause of the pain and wouldn't …

I've been treated by a great doctor for a long time. The doctor here is the same one who used to come to a nearby hospital on designated days, so I rely on him for regular visits. The nurses are all very nice. …

??????????

It's so busy that even if you make an appointment, you'll often have to wait for over an hour. Perhaps the wait time could be reduced if the examination and consultation were combined a little better?

--

I have been to pediatrics, urology, and orthopedics in the past. Thank you for the appropriate treatment. I also had uterine fibroids 10 years ago, and I'm grateful for your treatment and cure.

????

I was hospitalized four years and eight months ago and received appropriate treatment. The doctor in charge came to my hospital room every day to check on my condition, which was very helpful.

Burton????

Maybe I just don't know about it, but there isn't much parking. There are a lot of support staff in the clinic, and there's a convenience store, cafeteria, and Starbucks, so I think it's good.

??????????

I go there once every two weeks for outpatient treatment. The parking lot can get crowded depending on the time of day, so I recommend going early. Both the doctors and nurses are very nice.

????

The waiting time is long. Sometimes cash cards cannot be used. The hospital fee was calculated incorrectly, so the bill never arrives. Is it difficult to get permission from your superiors?

?????

The parking lot is currently under construction, so it gets extremely crowded during morning appointments, but it seems like there is plenty of parking available from the afternoon onwards.

Mutuality Trinity

It is a central presence in Nagoya City's advanced medical care.
I was admitted to this hospital. The wards are bleak and the lobby is simple. The hospital food was eel hitsumabushi. …

????

I don't really understand. For now, I'll press five. I've never been there. I've been to Nagoya City University Hospital. My brother-in-law had a kidney stone and needed surgery.

????

It was a beautiful auditorium. I've been to the city university occasionally, but this was my first time seeing that place. It was interesting, like a behind-the-scenes look.

??

It's so big that it can be hard to find your way around. There's a Starbucks? and a Lawson convenience store. I think they're taking good measures to prevent infection.

????

The parking lot was under construction, so there were very few parking spaces and cars trying to park were jammed. I arrived around 8:15, so I was able to park easily.

???????????

It's not about the hospital. The students here can study difficult subjects but they can't do elementary school level things, and they can't communicate in Japanese.

????

The nurses are also polite and kind. If you are a new patient, they will explain things to you in detail. There is a Starbucks, so the aroma of coffee is soothing.

The doctors and nurses are all very warm and kind, and it's a wonderful hospital.
I'm truly grateful that I can receive treatment here with peace of mind and …

The best doctors and nurses are angels in white coats.
They're incredibly kind.
It's completely different from any other hospital I've been hospitalized and …

????

I was told that the examination room had changed for the endocrinology department today, and I was never called in, so in the end I was in the original room.

????

Currently under construction, there is a slight detour to the entrance for both pedestrians and cars, and it looks like the construction will be long!

????

It's a pain that there's only a surface parking lot.

Part of the parking lot will be under construction starting in July 2021. …

?????

This hospital is simply stressful and tiring.

The doctors, nurses, and administrative staff are all different, so I'll spare …

Japan Deive

A multi-story parking lot was built, making the surface parking lot almost unusable and changing the flow of traffic.

????

Nagoya City University is the university my grandmother attended and graduated from. It's a university in the city.

????

I think there are a lot of beautiful female college students there.
I was just in the area for work though (>_<)

???????

When my family came to visit me while I was in the hospital, it was nice because they could see me even a little.

???????

I think this is a very good hospital, and the medical staff are kind and polite, so I mainly use this hospital.

???

The doctors and nurses were very kind, but since it's a university hospital, they don't offer much flexibility.

????

The doctor and all the other staff were generally very kind??Except for some staff in the medical department?

???

The parking lot is currently under construction, so you can't park your car. It's also difficult to get in.

?????

Is there anything we can do to prevent people from lining up on the road when the parking lot is crowded?

hikaruandriku

This is a wonderful hospital. I would like to thank all the medical staff at Nagoya City University.

????

I couldn't meet you due to the effects of COVID-19. Could you please be a little more understanding?

????

The medical facilities are on par with those of a hotel, but the restaurant menu is not that great.

Asma Imran

A very prestigious government university. The university has it's own hospital as well

???

It's a big hospital.
You don't want to have to go there if you have a serious illness.

????

You cannot be seen without a referral letter from your regular hospital (basically).

Arrangements were made quickly and I was admitted to hospital and underwent surgery.

Midori

You took such great care of my father when he was hospitalized.
Thank you so much.

?????

The explanations are easy to understand, and the doctors and nurses are kind.

???

The service and explanations are kind and polite, but it takes a long time.

????

It's easy to get lost, but the staff will explain things clearly.

????

It's convenient because it's directly connected to the station.
